South of Lemoyne there's this place called Catfish Jackson's. Heard a father and son arguing inside. Got in and the father told me to leave, and I hogtied him. Son went hiding under the bed, threatened him and he told about money stashed away in the fireplace. Also found a letter from his mother pleading him to come live with her.

Wonder how many of these are strewn across the map.

I found out about that place ahead of time, some NPC tipped me off to the location lol.

I just had my horse killed by a local gang so I was decidedly pissed, naturally I charged into their with a double barrel shotgun and blew both their heads off.

I did the same thing, ended up killing both, because I'm a scumbag, however they pulled weapons on me first, although rightfully so. I think they're related to a Strauss minor bounty activity later, so not quite so random, still cool you can rob them far in advance.

caught up in a thunderstorm last night, rain blasting down and I'm randomly exploring woods with my lantern out, can't see 5 feet in front of me, stumbling across abandoned shacks and not so abandoned shacks while eerie music plays, love how there's a little story everywhere if you're inquisitive enough and patient enough

Rockstar

The atmosphere in the game is incredible and you mentioned the lighting, which I think has a big part to play in it. Not only is the lighting very realistic in the way it works, but Rockstar has definitely deliberately played a lot with creating environments (via mechanisms like fog especially, wind, clouds for god rays, dense forests, snow, rain etc) that occur fairly often, a least compared to real life. The synergy between these weather effects and the lighting create incredible atmospheres, and thats without mentioning the great music.
